What do reviewers say about Rising Mysore 2 and Santal?
Some compositions ask you to wait. Rising Mysore 2 opens like a window thrown wide, then the sandalwood arrives and the room feels different. It's the kind of fragrance that earns attention without.Rising Mysore 2
Minimalism is only a virtue if it doesn't become precious. Santal avoids that trap entirely. Dry sandalwood and oakmoss form a counterpoint that keeps the whole thing grounded, never airy.Santal
